Dell likes Linux for virtualization
Linux is the key that will make virtual machines easier to build, according to Kevin Kettler, Dell's chief technical officer.

How can you build on top of something that can't be built? Every try to compile linux code? Errors out on make. Then if you are lucky enough to sift through thousands of lines of code to get it to compile then try to run it guess what happens? Segfault! Its just not worth it to run linux when you encounter so many problems.

which he said he hoped would hit $1 billion in licensing revenue by 2011

But linux is free! How can they possibly make any money licensing when they are giving it away for free? $1billion is being overly optimistic. I'd put it at somewhere around $0.
